- Summary:
- More and more children are being criminalised, but what can schools do to try and prevent children from getting involved in crime and entering the criminal justice system? Rod Morgan, former chair of the Youth Justice Board, says schools need to reconsider excluding children, as, if they're not in school, this can increase their likelihood of being involved in criminal behaviour. At Brislington Enterprise College in Bristol, they're trying to reduce the number of exclusions with a restorative justice approach, in which victims and offenders are brought together. Uniquely these conferences count towards local police crime targets. The school works closely with its own policeman trained in the use of Restorative Justice. We find out what he thinks about the process and how the staff feel about sometimes violent pupils being allowed to stay in school.
